With the
loss of Mary Kay this web site will
never be anything near the same. She had been the one that really
supplied the information and kept things going through the years.
While I have done most of the basic computer work on the site Mary Kay did the important part of the
reporting by collecting the information and keeping the site up to
date in the Dancyville area. She also did many scan projects
and typing prep work.

I have
lost my work mate for the past 14 years.

But more
important I have lost another sister. We were not connected in the
early years, since we lived apart, but we made up for it during the
years that we did the Dancyville site.
